South Jefferson girls win Frontier League B basketball title

The South Jefferson girls basketball team opened the fourth quarter with a 13-2 run to defeat General Brown, 44-29, in the Frontier League B Division girls basketball championship game Monday at Jefferson Community College.

The Spartans improved to 17-0 and will enter the Section 3 playoffs undefeated for the fifth straight year if they can beat Vernon-Verona-Sherrill in a nonleague game Tuesday.

Austin Stevens scored a game-high 16 points, including seven in the final quarter, to lead South Jefferson.

Seniors Marissa Garland and Jenny McLean added 10 points apiece.

The Spartans completed the three-game season sweep of General Brown (11-7) and havent lost to a league opponent since February 2009.
